New Opening: The Home Hotel Zürich Channels the Dada Spirit

Free-spirited, eccentric, and unabashedly creative. These words defined artists like Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia—as well as everyone else associated with the 20th-century avant-garde art movement Dada. Today, such words define the newly opened The Home Hotel Zürich, which channels the whimsicality of the Dada disposition into the reimagining of a former paper factory. Everything from the guestrooms to the lobby and lounge, neo-bistro, and collaborations with the local creative community invoke the spirits of the innovative Dadaists.
